Unfortunately, MLB Advanced Media is not doing too well delivering HD streaming content on a consistent basis this year. This week alone there have been several outages of Next Def HD streaming content for premium subscribers. Since the beginning of the season, keeping all the games streaming with Next Def has been a constant challenge for MLB Advanced media support staff. That same staff has provided no insight into the true nature of the nagging issues, and instead have fallen into a pattern of telling premium subscribers to watch the game in "normal" viewing mode until the current issue is fixed.
Aside from that MLB Advanced Media sold the 2009 product with promised features that haven't even been delivered yet. One such example is the ability to listen to a synched AM broadcast along with the video feed. It's hard to imagine another company that could make false claims about the product it was selling and receive such little notice from interested media observers.
It is great to write an article like this touting how MLB Advanced Media plans to do a terrific job in 2009 (as opposed to 2008, 2007, 2006...), but it is more admirable to follow up and find out how the service is actually panning out.
Thanks,

Ooh, I'm drinking the coolaid and I really believe in my heart that MLB tv is finally not going to suck on Mac and Linux.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/acb9b914745fa549eff01000DJ ChangWed, 25 Feb 2009 10:10:44 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/acb9b914745fa549eff01000
We've surfaced over 300 sports video channels in preparation for March Madness. It includes photos, videos, and Twitter chat by team.
The MLB effort to make more video available to the public over the web is great. Looking forward to crowdsourcing that content for the baseball season in combination with Twitter discussions.
